EFF chaos: Extraordinary measures put in place

Johannesburg - Extraordinary measures have been put in place to prevent a repeat of the "chaos" that broke out in Parliament last week, Defence Minister Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula said on Tuesday.

"These are extraordinary measures in the event of a repetition... We can't have that, not in the legislature," she told reporters at Parliament at a briefing by the justice, crime prevention, and security cluster.

She condemned the action of Economic Freedom Fighters MPs who disrupted proceedings in the National Assembly on Thursday while President Jacob Zuma was answering questions.
